Which kind of goes against what you would think because they were so maligned. You heard a lot of people talk about how they are going to dump their Facebook account. I hear a lot of ad hoc stories about how they're dumping their Facebook accounts, but numbers wise, we're just not seeing that happening, and they're actually doing pretty well after election season

Is there anything worth watching? I'll be watching some College football today, maybe a little pro football tomorrow. But just curious, is there anything else out there? We should be watching

So that amount is definitely a lot of money to an organization that is in debt. It is unlikely in my mind that this recount will change much. If anything, the lead of 20,000 votes would be would be a lot for that to come anywhere near overturning. For example, in 2016, they did a recount paid for by Jill Stein, put an asterisk there

Some legislators are actually catching on to it and they're shutting down the PBMs. The pharmaceutical lobbies are fighting back with this information. From what I've seen so far, but this could be a good thing, seeing the end of the PBMs and really the only way that you can truly fight them because the other way is to actually undo the law because it is written in the lot that they exist, so you really can't disintermediate them directly

Well, it has happened. The Dow Jones industrial Average has crossed the 300 barrier for the first time ever. I think driving this news is really the trifecta of COVID vaccines that seem to be headed our way in 2021. But also Joe Biden naming Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary Wall Street seems to approve of that move and markets are moving higher. Swell. See if it can stay above 30,000 for the day

Thanksgiving Week and I'm sharing my views on sports won't be much in the way of politics this week. Hopefully, we can only hope. And I hope your dining room tables and Thanksgiving meals are not filled with a lot of debate about election and voter fraud. I'm hoping that we can put that aside for a week and maybe just watch some sports pick it up on Monday
